Mary Wood, University of Virginia School of Law; Why Your Face Should Be a Trade Secret
"Facial recognition technology is used to unlock phones, unlock doors of luxury homes and lock up criminals. It’s so powerful and rife with the potential to be misused that regulators should treat faces like trade secrets, says Professor Elizabeth A. Rowe on the season finale of “Common Law,” a podcast of the University of Virginia School of Law.
Rowe, one of the world’s leading experts on trade secrets and intellectual property, talks with hosts Dean Risa Goluboff and Professor Danielle Citron about her paper “Regulating Facial Recognition Technology in the Private Sector,” published recently in the Stanford Technology Law Review.
Rowe details not only how private corporations and governments are using facial recognition technology, but offers a glimpse at more extreme cases."
